It happens to all of us and if you are totally miserable, or have anything that could make the rest of us miserable then please stay home and get better. This includes your mental health as well! You will be paid for up to 5 days away from work per year due to illness, with no carryover to the following year. If you make it up that week – it is not deducted.
Employees will be paid regularly on the 15th and last day of every month via direct deposit. Deductions required by law will be (ahem) deducted. If pay day lands on a weekend or holiday, payment will come through on the business day before
The standard workweek is Monday through Friday, 7:55am to 5pm-ish. Take 45 minutes for lunches – no smoke breaks. However the IT world is 24x7x365 and your job may require more hours during projects or emergencies. You can expect to work, on average, 45 hours per week.
If you need an hour here or there for doctor, personal, or whatever – take it. Just remember it’s a give and take – cruise out for an hour and skip lunch or stay late. Everyone has a life and we want you to be able to take care of yourself.
We are open to it. Come talk to us about it and we will come up with a plan.
During your first year with LeadingIT, you earn 1 day of vacation for every month you work. Work with us for 90 days and you can use your vacation days. After 2 years of service, you will receive one additional vacation day for every year you work, with a cap of 8 extra days. Extra days will be awarded on your anniversary date. Give us two weeks heads up for scheduling. Some final words regarding vacation — and these apply to everyone. We strongly encourage you to take your vacation! You are no fun when you are overworked and restless. Use it or lose it!
